Heer addresses Ranjha with humility, protesting that she has not harmed him in any way. She grandly declares that she and her clan are all enamored of him. She responds to his rebuke in the previous verse by saying that she has not harmed him in any way and gently chides him for saying that he is placing his trust in God and leaving. Ah the end of the verse, the poet ironically says that after all, those that are blessed by God cannot be rivaled, implying harmed by anyone, thus foreshadowing the tragic arc of their love, for as we shall find out, her clan will be far from enamored of Ranjha.
